This is really just out of curiosity that me and a friend have been wondering. Not such as taking a bass pickup and slapping it on a guitar. More like taking a guitar and adding a bass bridge, or nut made for guitar string but with only four slots like a bass, and then stringing in only four strings. I love playion guitar more, but i love bass guitar tone. Im just wondering if this could be a good idea, bad idea, or could go either way.

  • Rick:

    It sounds muddy and twangy at the same time.

    Many Bass players are forced to use a guitar string for back up if they dont have a bass string. Its not that good of a mix.

  • Eric Arden:

    Try getting thicker guitar strings and amps that handle lower tones like Ibanez and Peavey

  • ilikey:

    itll sound weird but if u want bassier tones , get an octave pedal .
    thicker strings would help too .

  • Bret:

    It will sound terrible. Try getting an amp where you can boost the low end, and buy a bassier guitar, like a baritone guitar.
